You'd reach for this when you need aerospace math without rolling your own orbital mechanics. It handles the gnarly calculations like ephemeris data, orbital parameters, and Deep Space Network operations that come up in satellite tracking, mission planning, or space situational awareness work. The server runs over HTTP transport, so you can call it remotely rather than installing heavy scientific libraries locally. Useful if you're building tooling around spacecraft operations, ground station coordination, or anything that needs to answer questions like "where will this satellite be at epoch X" without implementing Kepler yourself.
